The Azure Robe's Tribulation

Ling Qinghan would never forget that night: flames soared into the sky, and all 372 members of the Ling family were slaughtered. Her mother pressed a jade bangle into her hand. "Survive. Find the truth and clear the Ling family's name."

She concealed her identity and joined the Qingyun Sect, where her enemy resided.

She hid her true talent, pretending to have only a "high-grade spirit root." She warned herself: Don't fall for anyone. Don't trust anyone. Don't make the same mistake again.

But then Mo Chenyuan appeared.

A towering figure of the righteous path and a genius with a sword spirit root, he cared for her in every way. He gave her the only warmth she had known since her family was massacred, making her believe she could finally stop being alone.

And then there was Bai Weiwei. Her gentle, well-behaved junior sister, who called her "Sister Qinghan" at every turn and seemed to bare her heart to her.

Witnesses, evidence, motive: a flawless case.

Mo Chenyuan looked at her and remained silent for a long time.

He didn't say a single word in her defense.

Only then did Ling Qinghan understand: the most poisonous thing in this world has never been demonic cultivation, but the human heart.

But the truth was far more cruel than she had imagined. Bai Weiwei wasn't a scheming woman, but a true demonic spy. Mo Chenyuan's deep affection concealed an unspeakable secret. And the respected old sect master of the Qingyun Sect was the mastermind behind the massacre all those years ago.

The people she loved, trusted, and hated: everything was a lie.

With her green robes stained red and the truth laid bare, she chose the most tragic way to die alongside them all.

She left behind only one sentence:

"If there is a next life, don't again
